Clinton was asked at a news conference today what the U.S. government was doing to secure the release of 31-year-old freelance journalist Roxana Saberi.

Clinton said she was concerned about Saberi, and that the State Department is working through Swiss authorities to request information from Tehran. They are seeking information on Saberi's well-being, whereabouts and what Clinton described as the charges made in her confinement.

Clinton said the only acceptable outcome was for Saberi's release and return to her family in North Dakota.
